plant
• PES also offered advanced process control and preventive maintenance capability to address to the
growing demand for improved operational efficiency and sustainability in today’s market.
• The tight integration of the system ensures efficiency from design engineering through to operation –
engineers can develop the configuration faster and more accurately, operators will have all data at their
fingertips for better insights and process optimization, and maintenance teams can diagnose and solve
problems faster to reduce downtime
• PES helps our customers make the right decision at the right time, leading to increased uptime for the
whole plant, and a more productive enterprise
1.2
Process Expert System is a key pillar of the EcoStruxure Platform
EcoStruxture Platform is Schneider Electric’s collaborative and integrated automation architecture for
industrial and infrastructure applications. It brings together our Telemetry, PLC/SCADA and DCS offerings
with complete lifecycle services to help make your operations more efficient. From initial design to
modernization, EcoStruxure Platform transparently connects control, operation and enterprise levels of
your business. Also contributing to your energy efficiency goals, EcoStruxure Platform helps you measure,
analyze and improve the energy consumption of your process so you can produce efficiently with minimum
waste, effort and cost.
EcoStruxure Plant is built on an Ethernet network – it’s open and flexible architecture and network topologies
offer transparent access to the information you need, from the plant floor up to the enterprise level. In
addition, it is a key building block of Schneider Electric’s comprehensive energy management portfolio,

Process Expert System Key Features
2.1
Engineering
PES improves efficiency throughout the engineering phase of a plant, accelerating start-up and minimizing
project risk with five key features:
1. Intuitive and modern user interface – PES embeds all the software tools needed to design a
process application:
• The Library Manager contains extensive object templates organized into libraries
• The Application Manager describes the equivalent plant hierarchy
• The Topology Manager describes the overall topology of the system
• The Project Manager defines the project that runs in the topology
2. All-in-one configuration – PES offers an all-in-one configuration functionality, allowing faster system
design from a single point of data entry. Via the Application Manager, a replication of the application can be seen
as it is in real life, using any model, the ISA88 or ISA95 standards, or any other model of choice. In addition, the
design can be based on a hierarchical organization according to the P&ID definition, allowing easier evolution of
the installation.
3. Object model approach – an object is composed of different facets that contain internal information
about the software participant. These facets offer different points of view of the same object. Interfaces allow
connections between object instances, enabling collaboration between the software participants embedded in
PES, even while they remain de-coupled.
Figure 2: The Object Model based on facets that give several point of view
Process Expert System Key Features
Figure 2 shows (with the example of a pump) the concept of object modelling. Several points of view are TABLE OF
CONTENTS
represented through the facets: control and the command of the pump at the bottom, monitoring of the pump
through a graphic display and faceplate on top, and other information such as alarms, data history, user
guides and so on. When an instance of an object is created, all facets are created as well, along with all the
links between those facets. INTRODUCTION
4. Sustainable engineering – PES remains adaptable to different business needs at every stage of
the application lifecycle. The original design of the process application can be adjusted at any time, and the
system will execute the modifications by propagating the required changes across the plant. Modifications ARCHITECTURES
OVERVIEW
of an object facet can be applied to all objects or to the selected instances only. System libraries support
versioning, and the system always verifies any discrepancy between the object model and its instances.
5. Standard and reusable application data – PES includes a set of object libraries that help PROCESS EXPERT

3.1.1 System deployed on site
The PES architecture is fully flexible and its infrastructure can be deployed on one single machine that hosts
all the needed functions, or on a set of multiple machines. This choice will be based mainly on the size of the
project, its topology and the expected performance of the application. The functions needed to execute a PES
project are:
1. PES System Server – this server hosts the global database and centralizes and synchronizes all the
information throughout the system infrastructure. The engineering software to configure, monitor, diagnose and
maintain the deployed application is also embedded on the System Server. The engineering software suites
are embedded on a virtual machine, which is installed with the PES System Server. There is only one System
Server for any PES configuration.
2. PES Engineering Clients – these clients house all the editors that are needed to configure and build
the project. One engineering client can be located on the same workstation as the system server, or on another
workstation. It is possible to distribute several engineering clients across workstations, enabling engineers to
work concurrently on different applications or even on the same application located on the system server.
3. PES Operation Servers – these servers offer a set of services such as I/O servers, alarms servers, trend
servers and report servers. A minimum of one Operation Server is required when deploying a PES configuration.
In order to improve the scalability and the performance of PES the Operation Servers can be split into several
machines that can be stand alone or redundant. Each operation server embeds a local PES Operation Client.
In addition, it is possible to set up a redundant configuration of the PES Operation Servers to ensure the
monitoring of the automation system at any time.
4. PES Operation Clients – the number of Operation Clients needed depends on from where the Control
System Application is monitored, and how many client stations are required. There are two types of operation
clients – the Control Client enables modifications to be made like set points; the View Only client doesn’t allow
any kind of modification to be made to the running system. Both the Control and View Only Clients can be
used remotely as Web Clients. In addition, each Operator Server embeds a local Operation Client, which can
run exclusively on the server. PES Operation Clients is embedded with two main functionalities: supervision
services and advanced diagnostics through the Runtime Navigation Services.
All these machines are interconnected through the Ethernet Network architecture (refer to the figure 4). To
get access to the controllers from the Engineering Client, the client must be connected to the control network
or get access from the supervision network to the control network through a router. To avoid connecting
all the workstations on the same network, which may affect the response time, the choice of keeping two
separate networks is taken, with routing capabilities between networks. For this reason, all figures representing
architectures include a router between the networks.

Architectures Overview
For very small automation systems which don’t require redundancy, an “all-in-one” license called PES
Mini enables all the software components to be installed on a single machine at a cost effective price. This
alternative has some parameters which include:
1. The control system doesn’t require more than 200 object instances; however the system can be upgraded to
500 object instances at a maximum
2. The System Server, the Operation Server and the Operation Client are installed on the same workstation
3. The configuration cannot be extended to a second Operation Server so a redundant operation configuration
is not supported by PES Mini
It is possible to upgrade PES Mini to a maximum of 500 object instances. The limitations mentioned above
remain the same when upgrading PES Mini.

Figure 10 shows an example of the location of the virtual machines in a PES configuration, according to the
rules defined above.
In this example, three workstations are embedded with an Engineering Client, so a virtual machine has to
be installed on all of them and must be licensed. The system server requires a virtual machine to launch the
advanced diagnostics through the runtime navigation services from the Operation Clients. One license is
required as a minimum on the server to enable the navigation within the controller program from one operation
client. In the case of multiple clients accessing a controller, additional licenses according to the number of
simultaneous access must be added (maximum six in that case, considering that each Operation Server is
embedded with an Operation Client and the Operation Client installed on the same machine as the Engineering
Client uses the local virtual machine). In a nominal usage of this configuration, two licenses for the virtual
machine will be sufficient for the six operation clients.

Windows Pro as software included in the contract. The user has to order the number of “CAL VDA” that is
required for his configuration. Software Assurance includes the maintenance service. This solution generally
suits medium / large companies that have already contracted with Microsoft for various software and the
PROCESS EXPERT
licenses required for the VMs can be added in their volume contract. SYSTEM
KEY FEATURES
Microsoft proposes an alternative to subscribe to a contract called MPSA (Microsoft Products and Services
Agreement), which enables subscription to for a set of “CAL VDA” for Windows Pro.

Process Expert System Configuration: Examples
Through four examples, this chapter provides the information to define a PES configuration in terms of topology
and lists the required part numbers that need to be ordered. For each configuration, the location of the virtual
machines is described. Also the associated number of Windows licences for the virtual machines is mentioned.
Note: For one example, many other configurations are possible to locate the software pieces and the software
licenses. The location of licenses is guided by three main rules:
1. All software licenses related to engineering are stored on the system server
2. To avoid a single point of failure, software licenses for operation (server and clients) are located on one
operation server, which is on another machine than the system server.
3. In case of redundant configuration for supervision, the licenses are distributed in order to ensure the
availability of the primary or secondary server(s) and client(s) at any time.

Introduction
Process Expert System provides resources:
• That have been pre-configured and tested by Schneider Electric.
• That were specifically designed for automating a large variety of processes.
The control resources for the Control and monitoring resources for Operator Interface provide the commonly
required functions to facilitate the development of the DCS application.
StruxureWare PE includes global templates organized through the Foundation and General Purpose libraries.
Optional libraries to address specific needs in markets and applications can be installed as options on top of
StruxureWare PE.
Figure 22 shows an overview of the General Purpose and optional libraries available with PES V4.3:
The system provides Control function blocks (DFB) at the control level, and dynamic representations
(Genies) at the supervision level. In addition, ready to-use faceplates (implemented through windows with Super
Genies syntax) enable the users to get the status and interact with the process at the monitoring level.
To automate and simplify the implementation of automation systems, project designers can use these resources
together for massive code generation and for the synchronization of control and supervision.

Energy Management Library
7.4.1 Presentation
The Energy Management Library offers monitoring and measurement of electrical and non – electrical process
objects. It takes into account WAGES (Water, Air, Gas, Electricity and Steam) inputs. These blocks are capable
of providing aggregated energy at each level, by giving information to users about the energy consumption data.
The Energy Measurement Library offers library blocks which convert process measurement values (flows,
temperature, pressure, current, voltage) into energy measurement values (kW/kWh). These values are
formatted to comply with the ODVA energy object standards. The energy measurement library also allows these
blocks to be added and subtracted, providing an approximate energy measurement for higher levels within the
process hierarchy. This enables the energy consumption and the process to be compared to alarm conditions
and for energy to be monitored constantly but only alarmed when issues occur. The energy measurement
libraries act as enablers for both the energy performance architectures used by Schneider Electric to perform
overall energy management and also the energy performance services which provide Schneider Electric’s
expertise to customers as a service.

specialized devices used in the Food and Beverage industry and process functions to operate the process
operations in the plant. These objects help to design automation systems to comply with the ISA S88 batch
process engineering model. Liquid Food Library objects can be combined with the General Purpose Library to
design a liquid food application solution. This association provides a cost effective and high value-add process
automation solution for liquid food producers.
The library includes two sets of objects: the device objects and the process monitoring /control objects

Water and Waste Water Library
7.9.1 Presentation
The Water & Waste Water library provides a set of generic functions that are commonly used in water and
waste water applications. The library helps in the management of multiple pumps and time-based scheduling
of operations on equipment and devices to simplify remote operations. Local mode operation of equipment on
remote pumping stations is possible. Objects in the water library provide the capability to manage energy by
load shedding.
WPENSTOCK (Penstock Valve Control) - The WPENSTOCK function block is used to manage the
operation and control of a motor operated penstock valve / gate in an Open-Stop-Close operation.
WPUMPSEL1 (Pump Selection) - The WPUMPSEL1 block is used for checking status and for controlling
operations of a maximum five pumps on demand basis.
WDFMCTL (Dual Media Filter Control) - The function block represents individual DMF filters and selects
various operations performed by the filter
WFLOWCALC (Flow Calculation) - This function will calculate the discharge flow in the open channel for
various constructions like weirs, flumes, notches
WFLOWCTL (Flow Control) - This block is to allow chemical feed control based on flow, but allow fine
tuning based on Streaming Current. The flow based portion of the formula will be based on a ratio that
compares the maximum the pump can produce to a desired concentration.
WAERACTL (Aeration Control) - The WAERACTL function block is used to manage the operation and
control of an aeration control valve. It gives a command to the valve which controls the amount of oxygen
supplied to an aeration control basin.
WPUMPSEL (Pump Selection) - It checks the status and controls the operations of a maximum of
5 pumps. It calculates the number of operational hours for each pump. After completion of a maximum of
operational hours, the object switches operation to another pump in standby. It checks the health of each pump
and to ignore it when it is not ready for operation. It is possible to switch between pumps by using the buttons in
the faceplate when in manual mode.
WSCHEDULER (Scheduler) – It allows the mode of operation of equipment to be scheduled. The output
can be used to set a PID value, a control valve output or the speed of a motor. The scheduler is capable of
holding information for up to 10 events.
WMOTORVS - To control a motor with a variable speed drive, whether the speed driver is switched through TABLE OF
CONTENTS
communications, I/O wiring, or a mixture of both.

Managing Licenses
This chapter addresses the management of licenses, covering the following areas:
• Activation of a license
8.1
Activation of a license
Ordering a PES license provides an entitlement containing one or several activation IDs corresponding to the
software licenses ordered. This entitlement is sent to the user through an email (refer to the ordering chapter for
more information).
The license must be activated on the Schneider Electric Software Licensing server to be operational. Take
note that it is not possible to use PES without having activated the licenses (no trial period is allowed). Three
methods are available to activate the licenses. This is done through the floating license manager that is installed
on the computer with PES:
1. Through Web. It requires an Internet connection on the workstation. This is the easiest way and it is
immediate.
2. Through the Software Licensing Portal. This method allows licenses to be activated on a workstation that is
not connected to the Internet. Activation takes a few minutes. The following steps are required:
• From the workstation that embeds the licenses, invoke the registration via “Web Portal”. It leads to creating
a file that needs to be stored on a removable media, as a USB key.
• From another computer that has access to the Internet; go to the Software Licensing Portal. The licensing
service in the portal allows the file to be transferred from the original workstation and the creation of a new
file that will be restored on the workstation.
• Complete the activation of the license with this new file on the workstation through the floating license
manager.
3. Through Email. This method requires 1 or 2 days to activate the license. Activation is done in two steps:
• From the workstation that embeds the licenses, invoke the registration via “Email”. It leads to create a file
.that has to be sent by email from this machine or another one to a Software Registration Center.
• The file received as response to the email from the Software Registration Center must be copied on the
workstation prior to activate the license with this file through the floating license manager.
8.2
Management of licenses with the Software Licensing Portal
The Software Licensing Portal enables the users to administer their licenses. Any customer can create his own
private working space following the registration to the Software Licensing Portal (www.schneider-electric.com /
tab: Support / menu: Software Licensing).
From his space, the user can gain access to the list of his licenses and get the status for each of them.
Without any login, it is also possible to get the status of one license, simply enter the activation ID to get the
information.
The Software Licensing Portal is also the place to activate a license through the Web Portal.

Support fees calculation
The calculation of support is applicable to a customer site. The definition of a site is important to ensure support
can be correctly calculated. A site contains all the System Server, Engineering clients, Operation Servers and ORDERING
PROCESS EXPERT
Operation Clients which communicate together to access the application database which is located on the SYSTEM
System Server. So a standalone machine including the System Server, an Operation Server and an Operation
Client can be considered as a site.
The definition of a site is regardless how the software pieces are distributed in one or several locations, for INDUSTRIAL
PC FOR PROCESS
example in control rooms. EXPERT SYSTEM
In order to take in account the complexity and various possibilities in configurations while having a sliding fee
that depends on the site, the calculation is based on the pricing of the software pieces that are running and a AUTOMATION
PLATFORMS
price depending on the value of the service. SELECTION GUIDE
68
Service Support associated with Process Expert System
To do this the cost of support is broken up into individual Support Units. Each software license has a value in
term of Support Units. The Unit Price depends on the level of support purchased (GoldPlus, Gold, Silver).
It is applied the following calculation rule for software service:
Support Fee (for 12 months) = Unit Price x Quantity
Where:
Unit Price = Unit Price of the Support Level purchased
Quantity = Total Support Units of the software licenses
Important note: taking orders for mixed levels of services is not allowed for a site. In case of a mix of levels
in a site, the minimum level of support will be provided.
To renew support on a site, the support price is calculated based on the level of support purchased (GoldPlus,
Gold, Silver) and the software licenses on the customer site.
